cost to fix guesses to if possible ?

pulling the engine apart today to get the head faced ready for Tomei H/G saw this

I have limited Tech knowledge when it comes to engines and these sorta things

someone told me that the cyclinder may have just not been running right i.e coil pack issue or something

may as well chuck a set of new valve stem seals in while the heads off, from the first pic it looks like it had a manifold gasket leak out the side, which would not indicate any valve damage.

but yes, do the stem seals and check the valves and seats out that chamber that looks sus for any damage. If you do then a reseat might be needed./

Well just had the V8/truck engine builder from the shop next door tell me he thinks the rings are shot in my motor

due to the amount of oil covering the valves

he said if it was him he would through in a set of rings and bearings and maybe linish(sp) the crank if it needs it

he also didnt like the look of the oil on number 1 valve either

yippee :)

my bosses business partners are happy to through in above items in for me

just wondering if I should put in a little extra cash for better bearings or rings than standard Nissan items?

Im leaning towards ACl race bearings but Im not sure on the extra cost seeing as were I work will have to foot the bill for the repairs

I would love to go forge bottom end but I dont think the budget will stretch that far and I dont want to complicate this for the guys putting together the motor for

me seeing as they mainly work on commerical vehicles

plans are to skid the motor already have h/g for it one hoping to make 280rwkw out of it but for now standardish power

she does look pretty sad.

hows the bores. any scratches? how was it running prior to pulling it down? and was it smoky? there is a lot of oil in all the cylinders from the look of things. did you do a comp test?

doesnt look like a burnt valve. more like 300000k old motor gunk build up.

nice thanks that makes it worse lol

just bought the motor s/h so no idea on how it was running

engine builder said the bores looked ok probably just need a hone

unfortunately a mate cleaned the bottomend before the engine builder had a chance to look at it

but he did the push on the piston left to right thing and you could seen the oil moving around the rings

nissan rings are the best. bearings are all much the same so long as the clearances are ok. ie 2-2.5 thou on the mains and 1.5-1.7 thou on the bigends.

standard pistons with 1.3-1.8 thou piston to bore clearance.

from the sounds of it its got busted ringlands. but pull the pistons out and have a look.

got the motor s/h through my work so doubt it was running ethanol in Japan

I like to do forgies but will see dont want to over complicate things for the engine builders and it may be asking a bit much

of them to put it together for me

seeing as its only a free freshin up job

mate, putting forgies will make the job easier.

when you put second hand pistons back in, there will be 6 different pistons, and 6 different bores, all with different wear. If you put new forgies in you get much easier and more consistent clearances

Reason I asked is recently I pulled the head off mine. no oil in the inlet ports, exhaust ports just a light soot over them.

Bores perfect, no scuffing or glazing.

The combustion chambers and pistons were clean, inlet valves clean but the exhaust valves where a slight tan colour.

I was told it was due to myself driving soft and the car tuned fairly lean (due to ethanol I was running and pushing 10.5-11litres per hundred), the same thing was asked of myself.. Did I run ethanol. :thumbsup:

My initial thoughts were possibly oil but was told yes it can be caused by oil but if it were oil everything would be as dirty as crap.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
